Textfold – a native Mac text expander with plain text snippets
Mac text expander that turns a short abbreviation into full text in any app.
Textfold expands short abbreviations like ";sig" into full text — a signature, an address, a templated reply — in any Mac app you type in, including fill-in fields and date math like "a week from today". Every snippet is a plain .txt file in a visible folder, so you can edit, back up or put them in git with no database involved, and it imports directly from TextExpander, Espanso, aText or CSV. It's free for 10 snippets with every feature included, then a one-time $19 launch price until November 8 and $29 after that, with no subscription.
